+*** Compatibility with Emacs versions
+
+We made it explicit that we aim at keeping the latest stable version
+of Org compatible with at least Emacs V, V-1 and V-2, where V is the
+stable major version of Emacs.
+
+For example, if the current major version of Emacs is 28.x, then the
+latest stable version of Org should be compatible with Emacs 28.x,
+27.x and 26.x – but not with Emacs 25.x.
+
+See [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-maintenance.html#emacs-compatibility][this note on Worg]] and [[git::519947e508e081e71bf67db99e27b1c171ba4dfe][this commit]].
